Transparency Report: Production & Content Disclosure

Project Title: Devarim/ Deuteronomy: The Torah With Graphic Storytelling (New Revised Edition)

Volumes Included: Contents of all 11 volumes, starting with Volume 1: Parashat Devarim (Deut. 1:1 - 3:22)

1. Content Overview

This publication is part of a 54-volume project to visualize the entire Torah (4,993 verses). Volume 1 (Devarim) covers the Hebrew opening for "words" or "things," meticulously illustrating:

The appointment of tribal chiefs.
The pivotal mission of the Twelve Spies.
Encounters with the Edomites and Ammonites.
The historic conquests of Kings Sihon and Og.
The land assignments for the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half-Manasseh.

2. Visual Production Methodology (AI & Heritage Integration)

As the author/curator, I prioritize transparency in how these visual narratives are constructed:

AI-Enhanced Reconstruction: We utilize advanced Generative AI (Nano Banana/Gemini models) to reconstruct geographically accurate landscapes of the Sinai Peninsula and Transjordan, as well as period-specific architectural details.
Historical Archive Curation: We integrate classic, public-domain biblical engravings and historical illustrations to maintain a reverent connection to centuries of sacred art.
Human-Centric Curation: Every image is hand-selected and edited to ensure a 1:1 correspondence with the biblical verses. The AI is used as a tool for "visual exegesis," not as a replacement for theological study.

3. Educational & Ethical Commitment

Source Integrity: The text follows the Hebrew structure of the Torah portions (Parashot) to ensure authenticity for students of the Bible.
Copyright Compliance: All non-AI elements are sourced from the public domain or licensed for commercial use.
Mission: This project was born from the author's personal struggle to visualize the text. It aims to lower the barrier for Bible literacy globally, making the "distant past" a "vivid present."
